my stock fan was becoming very weak an causing my car to overheat. I modified the clutch bypassing it so it stays at a high speed all times. My car now sounds like an airplane bout to take off

i believe the taurus fan draws over 100 amps to start it up and goes down to a constant 40 or so amps

wanted to go with this fan cause its cheap and found in junkyards but the amp draw might not be good for the alternator
